Fair enough although my friend stated he took home <£2500 pm. I don't think that is a good wage for many jobs let alone en experienced pilot!
To be honest, I don't think £2500pm after tax is too bad for a couple of years, if you are living at home. Yes you can earn a lot more with other airlines, but it would be hard to beat a 30min drive to work, and back home to your own bed each night. I have spent the last five years away from home, yes I earn more, but I spend the extra for rent and living expenses abroad. Every other night is spent in a different hotel, for a short nightstop ( usually about five hours), with calls from 90% of standby duties. Maybe I am getting old or just homesick, but if I got offered £2500 pm to work from home, you know what my answer would be
